About the DTP CrossPoint 84 Matrix Switchers
The switchers distribute HDCP-compliant HDMI and Extron proprietary DTP video and audio
signal types. A matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. It can
route multiple input and output configurations simultaneously.
The DTP CrossPoint fixed matrix size switchers support a total of eight inputs: up to six
HDMI and one or two inputs from Extron DTP transmitting devices. The matrix switchers
provide up to four outputs: one or two HDMI and one or two scaled DTP outputs
(see DTP Input and Output Signals on page 3).
The DTP CrossPoint Matrix Series consists of three 8-input by 4-output models,
differentiated by their audio and control capabilities:
• DTP CrossPoint 84
• DTP CrossPoint 84 IPCP SA — Includes a stereo audio amplifier and a built-in Extron
IPCP Pro 350 control processor
• DTP CrossPoint 84 IPCP MA — Includes a mono audio amplifier and a built-in Extron
IPCP Pro 350 control processor
The switcher has RS-232 and infrared (IR) insertion ports on all DTP inputs and outputs that
allow you to route bidirectional control signals to the connected devices.
The switchers provide four mono microphone (mic)/line level inputs that can be mixed with
one or all audio outputs. Adjustable mic input audio gain and attenuation compensates for
level differences among audio inputs. The DTP CrossPoint 84 also includes a built-in digital
signal processor (DSP) that provides a wide variety of microphone pre-amplifier controls,
mixers, filters, dynamics processors, and feedback supressors.
The mic/line inputs have a talkover feature that automatically reduces the program audio
group when mic/line input is present. When the mic/line input is not present, the program
audio group is restored to the set volume level. The mic talkover threshold is adjustable from
0 dB to -60 dB.
Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered; switching is accomplished with
virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels. Audio that is switched through the
DSP can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio
breakaway). Embedded digital audio always follow the video.
